タイトル	Globalization Approaches to Giving Aid: A Comparative Study of Japan’s ODA, DAC, and USAID

内容	Recently, globalization has expanded rapidly, leading to many global challenges that human must address through relationships and actions. As a member of developed countries, Japan has long played an active role in solving global problems. Japan’s ODA spends much more money in economic infrastructure (such as transportation systems and communication technology) than social infrastructure (such as education and health related to improvement quality of life education and health). This trend is particular to Japan among main donors. Considering Japan’s ODA’s philosophical basis, unlike mainstream international aid trend, Japanese aid trends to have its own trait. Therefore, through the comparison of philosophy of Japan, USAID, and DAC, this thesis tries to show the philosophy of Japan’s ODA and how it is effected by globalization. As a result, I found that there is no big difference between them and Japanese ODA’s philosophy focused on social infrastructure. Furthermore, it is clear that philosophy of Japan’s ODA is also affected deeply by globalization.

講評	Befitting a seminar dedicated to examining educational developments on a global scale, this year’s graduation theses span a world of topics. Several examine how cultures change (or remain the same) as they cross traditional borders. Some focus on educational practices specific to Japan, looking to place them in a global context. Others look at global trends that, for one reason or another, have yet to be fully integrated into Japan. Two papers are comparative studies, contrasting policies across national borders. The most popular theme this year was ESD, with a total of four related papers. Several papers rely heavily on newspaper archives, while others are based primarily on interviews. All of the papers contain sections that are thoroughly original, evidencing the effort of seminar members to either work with new topics or take new approaches to more familiar themes. Naturally, in addition to the normal challenges of researching and writing, all of the students wrote their final papers in English using at least some English-language materials. I am proud of the students’ work and convinced that the process of researching and writing has enrichened their intellectual growth. Well done!
